The BBQ Grail

A few weeks ago a fellow member of the BBQ Brethren asked on the forum if any one had ever tried Todd’s Dirt. They wanted to know if someone could make any type of recommendation. No one could.

After visiting Todd’s website and reading about Dirt I decided to bite the bullet and buy some. A few days later the package arrived. Shipping was super fast.

Finding the time to grill something has been a challenge, but tonight I stopped at Costco on my way home from work and picked up some Tri-Tip steaks. My mom is in town and I needed to do a little cooking for her.

My first thought when opening the container of Dirt was that it smelled a great deal like Poultry Seasoning. I was a little concerned because I was cooking beef. But I decided to continue on.

This isn’t a “rub” it’s a seasoning. As you can see from the first picture DIRT is loaded with herbs and spices. I’m not very good at identify herbs and spices but I could tell there was Oregano in it (it’s in the ingredient list).

The smell coming off the Weber Kettle was fantastic. I could tel already I was in for a treat.

One of the aspects of this seasoning is that it doesn’t come off on the grill like others. It sticks. After they came off the grill I couldn’t wait to give it a try.

Let me just be blunt about Todd’s Dirt. This stuff ROCKS! Everyone at the table raved about the flavors. It complimented the beef without covering up the flavor. I couldn’t believe how good this stuff is.

I also ordered the “seafood” version and can’t wait to give it a try this weekend. Todd’s Dirt is also gluten and MSG free.

Todd’s Dirt is available at www.toddsdirt.com. The website is a little hard to navigate so dig around until you find the spot to order. (I hope they fix this someday.)
